    The Xbox 360 version of Homefront is slightly better than the PlayStation 3 one. Graphics look way better and the controls seem to work better. Nevertheless, the story is dumb and the gamplay is nothing special. If you want to play Homefront, get this version!

    It isn't innovative with the controls, it's just another CoD copy, but the story feels epic and rough by showing cruel images. It's a good game.

    There is incredible potential, potential that's wasted on a game that can be knocked out in an afternoon. The multiplayer has its moments, but it's not enough to help just a largely forgettable game. Homefront feels like a discount Call of Duty with Red Dawn thrown in just for fun. This game has rightfully been forgotten.

Multiplayer is... well... it felt like a cross between Battlefield and Call of Duty, and not in a good way. Guns sound and function almost exactly alike, there is little customization, and killstreaks are bizarre and unbalanced.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The most average game ever. Fair voice acting, fair graphics, fair controls and fair campaign length. Two things set this apart and earn this a 6 instead of 5. 1. The story takes risks. The setting is interesting and the portrayal of it, while thin, is fairly plausible. Then there's great stuff like hiding in a mass grave, missions gone awry and the murder of women and children. 2. Unlike the Call of Duty franchise, the story follows a very linear narrative. You are running from place to place with an occasional conversation between NPC's. It keeps you guessing and wanting more. Worth $5-$10. A great bargain bin game.… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I was coming in expecting something amazing. I loved the premise - in fact, I love researching things about North Korea. I thought this game was going to be much longer, even stretching to Asia. So, the beginning of the campaign was great. You're dropped right into the action with North Korean soldiers torturing civilians on the streets, and you're stuffed into a bus because your character was a pilot. The bus is ambushed and you're saved by some ragtag freedom fighters, because, once again, your character was a pilot. So, the grand entrance to the game left me expecting something phenomenal, and a game of phenomenal length. After all, this is a lengthy subject. However, at the end, you traveled to San Francisco to deliver fuel to the U.S. Army. So basically, this game is a payload mission with a fancy backdrop. I was absolutely stunned in a negative way when the game ended on the Golden Gate Bridge. The game didn't leave me WANTING more, like a good game should. It left me EXPECTING more. I thought the campaign was going to be a solid 10-20 hours, but instead it was 4. It definitely wasn't worth my money at release, but now it might actually be worth it. The gameplay itself, such as controls, are pretty uniform with approximately every other shooter game on the XBOX 360. One thing that stood out, though, was the lack of ammo. You're pretty much ammo starved half the game and you're forced to pick up a North Korean gun. The latter part was pretty standard, but the kicker is that for every 10 enemy soldiers, only one has the gun model you're after, which is the only way you get ammo. Even then, he probably has half a clip left of ammo. It's a pretty good game, but once you dig deep and realize that the whole game was a payload mission, you feel cheated.… Expand

    Ridiculously short game just like this review should be. Returned it to the shop I purchased it from the same day, and swapped it for something with a decent amount of game-play. The devs and publishers who put this out should be ashamed at the minuscule amount of game-play in the single player campaign. Probably the shortest game I have ever played.

From my point of view, the war in Homefront was complicated and it has no reason to end it so easily. We want to see more aspects from it.

    Homefront was a massive disapointment for me. The sad thing is that this game was supposed to be one of the best games of 2011 and it sadly wasn't. The campaign is semi different all though it is similar to the modern warfare series's campaign. How ever it is very buggy and INCREDIBLY SHORT. You may enjoy your self sometimes in the campaign but others wise it is a massive let down. Now theHomefront was a massive disapointment for me.

This is not a good thing. Battlefield is one of the most realistic FPS out there (next to medal of honor) and turning it into what homefront is is a major mistake. The maps are terrible and BTW if you enjoy getting spawn raped you'll love this one. It take FOR EVER to find a game and there are almost no differences between guns. I am insanely disapointed with this game and it is most likely going in the trade in box.… Expand

    Cons: Overall I somewhat disliked this game, I love tackling achievements after having fun with a game, but the achievements here were time consuming....well let me put it another way. Say you need to beat a lvl without dying. You load up a stage, and you have to sit through a cutscene with no way to skip. You then have to follow someone for an extra two minutes. You are ripping the stage apart and then you die, so reload the stage, watch the cutscene, follow the person...ugh.... that is truly hard a waste of time for me to deal with enough so to stick me at the 300 chevos and I normally get at least 500. This happens on nearly every stage. Another thing I didn't like too much was that you need an online code to play multiplayer. A lot and I mean a lot of achievements revolve around the MP on this game and because of the code issue, it makes it hard to trade or re-sell. With no code you are stuck at lvl 5.

    Overall I enjoyed the story up unitl a little over half way, it started to get dull. The premise is awesome though. N. and S. Korea merge and fully deploy on the U.S taking it over almost completely until You as a player show some resistance and strike back.    … Expand

    It has a great idea and a scary premise. The problem is it never comes to fruition. The graphics are 2006 and the online game-play is original but fidgety. Vehicles can become a problem and hit-detection is sometimes off. I hope they don't lose faith in their ideas as another try with some feedback and a future beta could do wonders for this as a franchise.

    The core focus of Homefront is online but with rival releases doing this just as well if not better, there isn't any real incentive. A fun rental perhaps, but spend your money elsewhere and you'll thank us.
